I may have underestimated how much greedy general Tao was for a kingdom, I met him at the battlefield just a few metres away from the main gates of Tong'an and I would dare say I knew I lost the war the moment I laid eyes on the army - we were outnumbered even from a far anyone could see that. Lee and I decided to play it cool and not panic, as we always said no matter what happens Tong'an will never fall under the enemies hands, it's better for it to burn to the ground than be ruled by another ruthless ruler like Qianlong.
"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you again. Are you going to join us in the war? Last I've heard you beheaded a man's head without flinching" said General Tao.
"That will be you if you don't turn around and leave, there is no way you will win"
